never try or even think about it before, but how can we buy stock/fund of other country?

unless i'm wrong, i think i read somewhere that Unit Trust company investment income ranking this year: 1. southern bank 2. OSK-UOB 3. TNT

Ky_khor,

You cannot do it but I can since I am an US PR. This is what I buy:

VSMGX
No load
Annual expense = 0.25%

It consists of 4 funds

1 Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund 35.1% -> Cover all US stock market

2 Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund 29.9% -> Cover whole US bonds

3 Vanguard Asset Allocation Fund 24.9% -> Move between total stock or total bond depending on adviser.

4 Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund 10.1% -> MSCI EAFE Index -> Index of the rest of the world excluding USA.


Vanguard REIT Index Fund Investor Shares (VGSIX)
REIT of whole USA Real Estate
No Load
Annual expense = 0.21%


Compare to the options that I have in USA, only one stock is worth buying in Malaysia.

Dreamer

i use try quite a no of TA.But i prefer using meta trader 4.The time frame is not spesific.I trade only when i saw a reversal sign,Go only for long trade..

quite agree, the FKLI is some how very quiet recent few months mainly due to sluggish performance from the cash market. Not to mention the SSF which has been dead and buried now.

Individual will find little options to invest abroad, but if really interested can invest into the some global fund which act as feeder fund that invest into oversea fund particularly in US. Almost all global fund outperform local equity fund due to sluggish performance of KLSE currently if you look for 1-2 years performance ranking.

Just sign up with a US broker and register your self as a Non-Resident Alient. You will need to submit a copy of IC and relevant documents. Fund the account and you are all set to trade(buy /sell> make/ lose money). Oh and I believe profit from trading in US are not taxable when you move them back to Malaysia. For stocks dividend, US gov will tax you 30%.

You must be using TA for reversal sign ,if not how do you know it will reverse? Gaze stars check horoscope . Just kidding.

read more about technical analysis..last week gbp/usd were down at the lowest point..i think when the market open on monday,will gain a lot of profit...

Sorry man Read wrongly again..........thought you are not using TA. Only longs for you? Using 4 TA here.

so many investment-related threads been created. good for them.

I have seen countless of TA indicators that I dunno which are useful. Can tell me which are more commonly used ?

Wellcall Holdings stock ... gained 90% in 2 month.
Anyone bought this stock ? Good for you

Yup,many indicator.stoch,rsi,mcad and ema..i myself prefer use rsi and mcad..

Are these TA accurate? I know nothing about TA...can somebody provide some info? I'm interested in stock market TA.

Interesting thread, started out with stocks, FD, unit trust and now forex.

Well I been quiet because I know not many forex guys here. And now apis is here.

Im a full time forex trader & consultant for more than a year.

Been earning a very good income which is home based.

Initially like everyone I lost my capital in my first few months when I started trading.

After getting use to the market, I been making steady profits.

Already investing into the property market to make my income more steady
(rental income and capital appreciation).

Well all I can say is, before I was invovle with forex, I also think it is VERY HIGH RISK.
I been investing in stocks before so I always thought Forex is for the big boys.

I also gain on g/u and e/u. Entered long since Friday

in addition, pls remember to fill in w-8BEN form, so that u will not be tax by US for the profit u make. i am not sure if the profit is taxable bu our gov. i did declare mine. any tax expert can cofirm?

all can be done online & mail? or u need to be there urself in US broker firm? :S

ANyone knows where I can find a website that can show chart on the exchange rate for MYR to other currency for duration of 1 year? Like 2005-2006
